Blogging for Cash & Sum

Alice wonderland movie is an adventure fantasy film directed by Tim Burton. Starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Michael Sheen and Stephen Fry.

It begins where Lewis Carroll’s novels – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass left off earlier.

Alice is 19 years old and once again falls into the hole. This time she must save the White Queen from her evil sister the Red Queen. Through her trials and discoveries in Underland, she finally saves the day and frees all of Underland’s creatures. She then returns back home a more confident and assertive woman, ready to take on the world and achieve success.

The movie combines live action and animation and is likely to be a hit for Lewis Caroll’s fans everywhere. Alice changing her size dramatically through out the film from six inches to 20 feet illustrates her trials and finally her gained strong will and achievements.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland or Underland as a blogger blogging for cash. Going through the maze and trials of meeting many new challenges to become a successful blogger. All the emotions of shock and awe, surprise and fear, and finally achievement and joy that Alice went through are readily available in this blogging journey.

Like Alice, I can only follow through since I am in the hole of blogosphere already. Doing my best and trusting that there is a light, an opening to the wonder of success where everything becomes routine and normal again.

Blogging is like a maze of wonderful and surprising twists full of discoveries. There are days when I meet great bloggers like the Mad Hatter that leads the way to blogging success. And then there are the Red Queens of spammers that attempt to over take my blog.

Twists and turns will eventually lead to an opening home – to blogging for cash success. I can only take a deep breath and continue on, trusting that I will find it.

Alice wonderland movie is a great film for young and old. It is especially motivating and inspiring for those on the journey to discovery and achievement. Just my cup of tea.

I signed on to Blogomator last month. See here: http://bit.ly/aP74nX

I initially just activated my Twitter Adder feature and it has been automatically finding and following specific twitter users that are in the blogging and make money online niche. My Twitter followers have been slowly growing in the targeted and focused niche.

Just yesterday, I activated another powerful feature that automatically adds content from the web in the specific keywords that I input on it.

“Trends” keywords are input into this feature within Blogomator. It then finds when such keywords become hot popular trends across the net and automatically posts a short blurb as content on this blog linked to that main article on another blog. And automatically posts a new link to my blog of this same article in my Twitter page.

Since yesterday, I added about 50 keywords to this ‘Trends’ feature, all relating to blogging for cash, blogger success and twitter.

It has only been one day and I have already gotten 12 posts auto added to Bloggersum.com. And the same number to my Twitter page.

So far they seem related to the keywords that I input earlier, but I need to look at them more closely and see if this is good or not. More content is good if it adds to the quality of the blog or Twitter. Dilute it and it hurts the progress of growth and success.

I will let this new dimension of auto adding content run for a few days to see how much content is put up and how good they are in terms of quality, and how well related they are to the keywords I input in the first place. And lastly, how compatible is this feature and its auto posted content are to Bloggersum.com and its long term objectives.

It has been a month since my post: Blogging For Cash – 31 DBBB, where I listed what I needed to do to update and polish this blog. You can see the post here: http://bit.ly/bZa30q

I listed 7 things that I needed to do. So far, I have only done the first one on the list. I updated the blog template theme and that is it.

February came and I got really busy with family stuff. It is safe to say that the whole month was spent away from this blog. I was able to do some posts, but I was far from doing what I needed to do.

And here I am in March and St. Patrick’s Day – March 17 is around the corner and my blogging for cash plans have yet to lift off the ground.

If there ever was a time that I wanted to get green drunk – it is now especially this month of March. Drunk to unwind and ease my sorrows? Or for a flash of enlightenment, perhaps? Drunk blogging success, is that even possible?

Drunk in stupidity is more like it. Drunk for all the right reasons is stupid as any shrink or sane person can tell you.

The privilege of the “drunk experience” in any color is never a good thing for any reason. Getting plastered does not get you back on track or a positive healthy start to any venture.

And besides, St. Patrick would never approve just because I’ll settle for green hair and clothing. Nor would any self respecting professional blogger that treats blogging as a business.

Getting drunk and puking in green bile is not attractive at all. Well, perhaps to a freaky Leprechaun.

So yes, I can always go out and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with green glee and just as green accessories with friends. And still reclaim my momentum, and then get back on track in what I need to do. A few drinks with merry cheer with good friends and family is a good thing.

Blogging for cash in green dollar bills will be my inspiration to get proactive once more and get going. A positive start in the right direction with a focused plan will get me far ahead in reaching my goals.

This month of March is my getting back on track month and I am excited once again. I’ll need more than my lucky charms and the three leaf clover to pull it off.

I’ll simply have to stick to the plan and work it to the bone. Saint Paddy- my patron Saint, more green success for me please.

Blogging for cash or fun is work. And it can be a headache if one is not prepared to overcome the many challenges that come with it.

Blogging Challenges:

1. Choose Blogging Platform
Wordpress, TypePad, and Joomla to name a few are some blogging platforms available. Any blogger can start up a free blog at Blogger.Com or LiveJournal. Or start one at the many free hosted mini hubs within related blog or site mega portals across various niche markets from health, self improvement, to business.

For the self reliant and independent bloggers, getting paid hosting and owning their own domain is the way to go.

Wordpress cries of adulation can be heard across internet space for its ability to easily install and use. It has lots of free and paid plugins, How To tutorials and videos available online. With its ability to expand its use with various plugins; Wordpress is a blogger’s best choice for blogging for cash or for fun.

2. Choose Niche
Go into a major market or a specific niche, that is the question? I say – make it simple. I think it is best to start small and blog about what you are most passionate about and learn as you go. Choose any one of your hobbies or work or life related theme and blog about it. You can find a corresponding monetization strategy to go with it if you decide to earn through your blog as well.

3. Update Content
Maintaining the blog with unique content can be hard work. But with passion for your writing and writing a lot to practice and share your voice will make the job easier.

Write what you know and let your voice be heard. Rewrite plr content that complements your blog and model successful blog posts from popular bloggers to get a headstart on creating lots of unique content that offer value.

Start with at least one or two blog posts per week. Don’t go overboard and blog too much. Having a lot to read can be overwhelming even to your readers; don’t scare them away.

Update your blog template and get in line with the rest of the blogosphere by connecting your RSS feeds, join blog carnivals and blogging forums. Experiment with videos, podcasts and guest blogging to get yourself out there and connect with your subscriber base and with other bloggers.

Start small, learn your blogging craft and work up. Everything starts somewhere and it is best to work with what you know and learn as you go. This will keep away that nasty overwhelm and burn out bug at bay. Keep it simple as you expand your blogging skills.

Nothing works if it is not acted upon or followed through from start to finish. Maximize your results with better innovative solutions by modeling what works. Act – Blog – and Blog some more.
